Stop the Dropbox location changer widget from jumping all over the place in the tour.

Fixed case where the Dropbox preferences window wouldn't always become active when clicked from the menu bar on Mac OS X versions before Snow Leopard.

New "Easy Relink" dialog in the tour. Now when you link with the same account as a previous installation you will be greeted with a fast path to configuring Dropbox. This retains your Dropbox location setting as well as your selective sync settings.

Syncing of extended attributes and resource forks! Supporting xattrs reliably across all three platforms was no small feat. We now sync everything from Mac OS X Spotlight comments to label colors, the executable bit, bundle bit, "open with" file preferences, etc... Just yesterday, we played tic-tac-toe with label colors within a shared folder at Dropbox HQ :-)

Significantly improved startup time for large Dropboxes (all platforms, but particularly on Windows)

Countless performance improvements across the board when dealing with large file sets

The majority of the client now uses a custom-written memory allocator that is much more effective at preventing memory fragmentation/high memory usage

The cache folder is now located within the Dropbox folder. This should be helpful for those running dropboxes on partitions/profiles with limited space available

The Dropbox sqlite db is now split up into two databases (filejournal.db and sigstore.db). We made several schema changes/optimizations on the client side database and there should be significantly less fragmentation within the client filejournal database. Additionally, the size of the database will no longer grow unbounded as it did it the past

Dropbox idle memory usage no longer varies significantly with the number of files in your dropbox. we did a great deal of optimization and re-architecting to make this happen

Potential fix to issue where the tray icon wouldn't show up/wasn't showing up properly in some versions of Windows (usually 64 -bit Windows 7 and Vista). Please try this build if you've been having this problem and let us know if it's fixed.
